I am looking for the ICD-9 code to indicate "TBI". It would be used in the context that the patient has had a history of TBI, howevern, there is no specific documentation of the lingering effects. You can refer to the following codes

800.0-801.9, 803.0-804.9, 850.0-854.1
However, I feel that their use may be misleading as it is not a recent injury with a specified loss of consciousness.

Thanks for any input.

Heather
